LOOK AND LIVE  Numbers 21:4-9 Devotional:- “Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live” (V.8) NKJV      The lives of most men are faced with so many compounded problems and sorrow. What some go through is not explainable. This is because they give themselves to all kinds of bondages of the devil unknowingly. Many have compounded the situation by entering into a terrible covenant with darkness or by their addiction to unrighteousness. I have good news for you – there is a way out.

PURPOSE OF HIS FAMILY

PURPOSE OF HIS FAMILY

Ephesians 2:14-22
Devotional “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,” (v. 19)


    It is important you know that you are created for fellowship and formed for family. No one can fulfill the purpose of God alone. That is why God created a family for His children called the church. There will belong to one another forever [Rom 12:5]. Your earthly family cannot continue to care for you but God has made the church a place for each of us to find love for ever. 

Please know that the church is not a building it is a group of people who form the body of Christ. The church is an organism and not an organization. One of the first sign of backsliding is when people start to miss fellowship. Whenever we become careless about fellowship every other thing begins to slide too. The church is so important that Jesus had to die for Her [Ephesians 5:25].The church is called the bride of Christ and you can’t tell me you love me and hate my wife as some want to hate the church today [1 Pet. 2:17]

You need a church family that you might be identified with as         believer; you need a church family that you might move out of your isolation to learn and grow with others. Your maturity is tested in the fellowship. You need a church family to discover and deploy your gifts and talents. You need a church family to motivate you into evangelism which is the commandment of Jesus [Matthew 28:19-20]. You need a church family to keep you from backsliding [Hebrews 3:13]. Gods purpose for the church is to be a place of worship to help you focus on God; fellowship to help you face life’s problems, discipleship to help you fortify your faith for victory, ministry to help you fulfill your purpose, evangelism to help you fulfill your mission on earth. True church is a place of true love, help for each other and mercy for each other. 

PRAYER –Lord, help me not to be disconnected from your family.

“CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT A CHURCH IS LIKE A CHILD WITHOUT A FAMILY’’

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.

ONLY THE VICTORS Revelation 21:1-8 Devotional:- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (v. 7) NKJV      In this part of the world, many are not so used to taking responsibility over challenges. Instead of been proactive to foresee and prevent issues, people are used to looking out for whom to blame and who should help out (Proverbs 14:23). It is vivid that we are in a challenging season. It is also clear that we are drawing closer to the end of the age.

ACKNOWLEDGING HIM Scripture Reading Proverbs 3:1-10 Devotional:- “In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths” (V. 6). NKJV      Living by inspiration always makes you and God to be partners in doing all your things together (1 Corinthians 3:9). That makes you a wonder wherever you are and in whatever you are doing. But, there are processes to getting inspired by the Holy Spirit. One of the factors is that, you must regularly acknowledge God. This is because God will not force Himself on you (Genesis 6:3).
